Detroit Council's Brenda Jones taking on US Rep. Rashida Tlaib in run for Congress

Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones made it official Wednesday morning that she'll run for Congress again, trying to knock off U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib.

Jones' campaign released a 3 1/2-minute video recorded at her home in which she said she was running for "re-election" in Michigan's 13th Congressional District, which covers much of Detroit as well as parts of western Wayne County and Downriver.

A very interesting development.

Expected, but still interesting.

Considering that Tlaib won the Dem. Primary (which is tantamount to election) with only 32% of the vote, a 900-vote margin (in a field where several black candidates split the rest of the vote).

Jones should have a decent chance to beat Tlaib (assuming that others don't enter the race).

But, it won't be easy.
